Before I get started on this blog post and telling you about all the yummy things I found at a lovely restaurant called Local Foods here in Houston, I have to get something out of the way.Ahem…It’s officially fall!!

Even if it still feels like summer outside, with plenty of humidity and highs of 90 degrees, I don’t care. The time is coming for cozy sweaters, holiday cooking, and pumpkin-flavored everything! Fall, winter, and all the holidays that come with them are definitely my favorite time of the year, so expect to see plenty of evidence thereof on this blog. Not to mention that this is my first holiday season on Pinterest, which will either result in a series of fantastically festive craft projects or a series of embittered tirades against hot glue and tinsel. Whatever happens, it will be extremely entertaining.

Over the past week or so, what with my job in full swing as well as the start of my second-to-last (yay!) semester of college, I’ve noticed myself feeling a little depleted. During the beginning of August I was really getting into a groove with all of my daily to-dos, but all the new additions that came with September have made everything seem discombobulated. Just going through all my syllabi alone and putting the semester’s assignments and due dates in my calendar gets me all jumpy and twitchy. From the starting point of the semester, it all seems equal parts dizzyingly busy and incredibly repetitive.
